"damaging" poems
Tap, tap, tap on your little device Do you wish to hear my insightful advice? Look up, not down Take a walk into town. Throw your phone away, you won't need it today. Appreciate the yellows, greens, and blues Mother Nature won't mind if you use her bed for a snooze. Tap, tap, tap on your useless device You ought to hear my insightful advice. Stop damaging your eyes There's a much bigger prize. Be wholly alive and tough, You'll be dead soon enough.

Takeover of Technology
I'm struggling with what it means to be a woman. Does it mean that I am always in competition to be the top of my species? Does it mean that I need to be perfect without a single curve out of line in order to find love? Does it mean that I am only defined when owned by a man? Does it mean that I can only find purpose in childbirth? Does it mean that I will forever live in the shadow of men? Does it mean that I am an object invented solely for a man's pleasure? Does it mean that I'm forced to confine to gender roles and live in someone else's story? Does it mean that I'm supposed to accept it when I'm harassed from across the street? Does it mean that I'm supposed to lie there silent when he puts his hands up my skirt? Does it mean that I am only worth 77 cents to a man’s dollar? Does it mean that I am defined by my looks rather than my intelligence? Does it mean that I will never be capable of holding a major position of power due to my mood swings? Does it mean that I am defined by how many men I have had *** with? Or does it mean something else entirely. It's difficult learning to love being a woman. Obvious and damaging disadvantages are visible to observers. We are regarded as second best, property of our man. We are erased from history, our pain is minimized and forgotten. We are oppressed and have to fight for our rights. We are afraid to walk the streets at night, afraid for our lives. We are harassed without care and without penalty. We are ***** and murdered for refusing proposals. We are expected to live on the sidelines as a housewife whose only priority should be her children. We are expected to keep quiet in situations of domestic abuse. We are expected to be perfect, and pretty, fresh for a man’s picking. We can’t even advocate for our own equality without being demonized. There are times where I wish I wasn’t a woman. Being a woman comes with innumerable expectations, pressures, and responsibilities. My existence is not defined by a man, or by the patriarchal expectations that have been placed on me. I am breaking free of my confinements and I’m not afraid to admit that, I'm struggling with what it means to be a woman. And that's okay. //sarahmann

Can you feel all the suffering, can you see it? Stop embracing the hate of your own humanity, just quit it Why all the hypocrisy? Challenge your democracy Aim for enlightenment Fight against all ill torment Oppression, alienation, inequality The government's manipulative utilities Explore your human aptitude Your mind and your magnitude Because passion is power and You can make all evil cower Work to open your third eye Don't cry or comply, but rather ask "why?" Empathy and compassion are most important Without them, moral principles remain impotent Our world is nothing compared to the entire universe We are so small, egoistic, and it's getting worse Focused on all of the wrongs ideals Creating terrible and false ordeals Our world is cruel and mean Too many people die hungry There's no such thing as equality or true justice It does not exist in this realm of consciousness If only we could shift the system and our ways Then things would continue to fall into place But change is virtually unachievable Especially when entities with just intents are inconceivable Human beings are clueless, trapped in a trance Don't let yourself fall victim to your ignorance You need to expand your knowledge and your perspective Aim to be more pensive and introspective Challenge absolutely everything you are told Form your own beliefs, don't let your mind be controlled Remove yourself from conformity and complacency And you'll realize a multitude of problems, that I guarantee *You can't trust anything
 Hear what I'm saying 
 No you cant trust anything 
Believing is damaging
 Creating is everything, it's promising Stop adhering to societal norms
 Why do you conform
 To all that
 The government tells us
 All that society spells for us Why don't you realize
 Wake up from all the lies
 The world is an intricate place, that you can't replace
 But you can change your ways and your pace 
Create some displacement in the system Stand up your rights
 And what you believe in
 Be genuine 
Imagine
 Not one person, thing, or system
 Can tell us, control us, conform us* With enough minds open and motivated We can help those oppressed and alienated We can change this race for the better Let's all work to be that kind of trendsetter Come on, let's start a movement So we can see some real improvement In our world, our ways, and our wisdom But most importantly in the system

You are a really good fisherman, And I am just but a foolish fish,                                                                              *Preposterously bitten your hook,                                                     With your bait of feigned love attached to it,*                                       Piercing it all the way to my heart,                   Leaving me wounded with all of those prevaricates I've fell for, But I don't know why,                             I still love the feeling,                                          That you've been jumping in gladness,                                              That you've finally caught me, Even though I was hardly breathing,                'Cause you've taken  me away from the place,                                   That makes me breathe and gives me joy.                                  It somehow gives me relief,                  Seeing the auspicious sun, Brightly gleaming into my beautiful scales, Not knowing it was just a start of a baleful Gehenna!                     I should've known all along that it's just an entice!                               But I am still blessed,            'Cause I have manage to escape,                                 While damaging and harming myself in the process, From the jailhouse that you've locked me in.                                                       From then on,               You've learned a lesson,    And use NET instead.                 © Earl Jane                          ♥ E.J.C.S.

the words used to flow like silk through my fingertips i used to know exactly how to weave them make them fall into tapestries, hang them from walls emblazoned with unadulterated innocence. it wasn't until you asked to look at my creations that i realised sunlight could be so damaging my words felt frivolous under your scathing gaze and they stuttered, crumbled. my tapestries fell. now they're dust and i'm on my knees, crawling grasping fistfuls that seep through my hands you can't write about something you can't feel and now i can't feel anything. this is the last poem i'll write about you.

Just Let It In this language,
 the perplexity 
 of this language, 
 is damaging to me.
 how can there possibly
 exist such an impeccably
 imposing combination of
 words that still manage to destroy 
 a soul as wasted as mine? somehow 
 words discover these fine little cracks in 
 my wall, as thin as the head of a pin. words 
 are like water, rushing into whatever space they 
 can invade, occupying whatever volume they discover. 
 this water trickles through the fragmented spaces, traveling 
all the way to my heart, transforming me in the way they seem to 
alter us all. it is these words that i take with me. words reverberate in my mind, 
disrupt me to my core, degrade me. your  words are the ones i perpetually carry with me...
 any...all of them. yours are the ones that elicit the simultaneous firing of every single neuron in my brain. there is something about the magic of your words flowing together...whispered into my ear. they move through me like a stealthy, lone snake, undulating in a field, stalking its defenseless prey; slowly...at first glance, not appearing to be a perilous threat ...then piercing me all at once with fierce strength and determination, devouring me without appearing to 
 acknowledge that maybe i still...still want to be.
 to be whole. and i do. my body craves 
 the sensation of being complete, not torn apart by the nonsense of your  daunting words disrupting my spirit and making me despise the necessity of language.
 i wish i could void your words 
 from my brain, but my mind is helplessly inconsistent; i can never forget what i long to,   scarcely remember what i must; and my peculiar mind *
certainly* will never forget the sound of your words, 
 just like water,
 flooding me. 
taking me

There is a forest, Somewhere around; Nowhere. And in this forest on a barren patch. Is a cottage. On one side of the cottage there is a field, That burns through night and day. On the other side is a river, Where it rains from dusk till dawn. In this small cottage, Lives a poet and his two pets. One a Raven; as black as night. One a Phoenix; burning brighter then light. They fight and tease each other. But although the Phoenix is stronger The Raven always gets the better of him. So the Phoenix rages on. Every night, the house catches on fire, And the field of fire consumes the house. Causing the fire to grow stronger. And spread through the forest even more. But at 4 am in the morning, The raven flies up to the moon, And commands the winds and waters, To put the fire out of the cottage. Every morning, The poet re builds the right side of the house. Making sure the next fire, Wont be as damaging. But one day, The phoenix turned from a fiery red, To a midnight blue, And burned not only the house, but the whole forest. The river went dry, The forest turned to ask, The poet could not re build. And the Raven had no water or wind to call. The poet had to go else where. But could only take one pet. And although the phoenix burned brighter, The darkness of the raven seemed safer. The phoenix was enraged, He became one with the burning forest. He rose up to the sky, And promised to reign heavily on them with ***** of fire. The raven protected the poet, And called on to the night, And with one strong swing of her wings She blew out the fire that consumed the phoenix and the forest. Out of the ash, The poet could re build nothing, But the Raven offered him protection, Under her dark wings. In darkest of nights, He was protected buy the calmest. In the heat of the fire, He feared to burn out and cease to be.

Smile, a simple curve in your face That sets everything into place It's a gesture in your lips That makes me forget how to sleep Smiling will cost you nothing But for me it means everything It always happen in just a flash Yet the memory stored in me will last With a glimpse of that sweet smirk And this whole world of mine change With a glance of your sparkling smile I can say that this life is a brand new game Why would I bother gazing up in the sky If the shiniest star is in front of my eye It would be a waste of time diving looking for a pearl It's an obvious fact, with your smile nothing can be compare Your smile is like a contagious virus Affecting my heart, and mind and make me smile too damaging my brain cells and can't do a thing hanged, frozen, just looking straight to you It's amazing how it can make me vulnerable Your smile is very lovable I'll do anything to make that smile last for eternity Because it defines the name "diane" for me

My love is destructive, vile ,and bitter to the taste It will drag you in and under. It's sporadic and vicious, a damaging fate Run, before I need you most. My love is jealous, selfish, an unforgiving gate It will resent all you do wrong. It's needy and bloodthirsty, forcing your affection To where Infatuation is all you can hope for My love is a scary, passionate, unjustifiable thing that will break under its own pressure It was not nurtured, comforted, or taught to stand straight It is an evil, inhumane, alien trait Run, please, please, get away.

An alien trait
Matter can not be created nor destroyed. Is it the same with love? I wonder. Perhaps just our love. One does not create it, rather falls into it, proving it's existence. Love is never lost, changed only. It is a chemical reaction, serotonin and oxytocin. The dynamics of our love have shifted. Once drowning in a volatile sea, I was obsessed. Then lying on a dry cracked bed just as damaging. Where did the love go? Into you. Osmosis of love through parted lips, gyrating hips.

The Science of Love
The mason trudges on night and day to finish his masterpiece. Clockwork, he waits like a prisoner yearning for the jurisdiction to fall in his favor. Each opportunity: he will steal it. Adhesive to stone and metal support: This wall will not fall. No, this one he will not let dissemble. Opposing the prior ruin, plagued with age and abuse, the once damaging blows instead drive this puzzle together. Attend carefully. Every door slammed behind to shut me out, Each painful stab in your glace lancing through my chest, into the black cavity life has consumed into me. He will work to layer his project, this projection of my cautions, until the last glimmer of light disappears behind the last stone in the last wall. Now a true prisoner, my mind lies in contentment.

it does not matter if you're male or female in the mind of a abuser they will always prevail. when you allow the abuse from the start in you life, it becomes a part. whether it's verbal or physical, it matters not you let it start, and it won't stop. the verbal can be more damaging than the physical because it becomes daily. like a sculptor chipping away at its mold until it becomes the way that they want it to be. and if you don't stop it you will never be free. they do it because of their own inadequacy. which is something that their mind won't see. how much abuse should you take before it becomes much to late? the verbal abuser will always put you to the ground and expect you to not make a sound. they will tell you that you was put here to serve. and to make a move, you have no nerve. that you must obey their every command and that you are the **** of the land. if you have no - or low self esteem it is something which will be seen. and when an abuser has you in their sight no matter what you do, it won't be right. STOP the abuse, before it's too late. for this can not be your destined fate. the verbal abuse will always start first then from there, it will get worse. YOU must walk away, so that they can see a victim you will not be. (abuse is like a broken tool, it could damage whatever is good)

the abuser
She wakes up with a shock, instantly feels the blood boil from her head down to her toes. Its the sound of that door. The repetitive sound of that door slamming is a reminder of the poison in her life who seamlessly seeps into her heart continuing to infuse her mind with hate. That door is used for a swinging entrance into her soul leaving it with touches of darkness until she simply can't understand how to love another person; how to empathize with another's time of distress. She loses touch, suffering to understand what love is. The life who uses that door brought her into this world and smothers their existence with cold truths, lies, neglect, and stories of their past; inflicting damaging images and thoughts that cannot be unheard. She's trying to persevere, but they persist to acknowledge their unreceptive response to her cry's for help, it destroys her light; leading her down the path where the poison starts to consume all her thoughts and distorts her rights to express herself with the constant feeling of never being heard. You built darkness in her and every layer affects even the smallest of challenges in life but you left her with a flame of curiosity to understand what others could not even care to comprehend; she sustains her curiosity for life.

For every person there is damage. Damage caused. Damage seen. The damaged live and the damaged die. The damaged save and the damaged hurt. The damaged forgive and the damaged condemn. For every damaged person there is a condemned. Condemned, they are so the damaged can move past them! "I condemn those on the street so I may walk by". "I condemn those in their adultery so I might save them." "I condemn those that hurt me and made me condemn." "I condemn myself for ever condemning." So what are we? Surrounded by the ****** For everyone who bares witness to those who affect them. Who damage them. And those who condemn themselves for damaging. All are guilty. And with that, chaos. To fight the ocean of the condemned is as simple as condemning. Only through condemning can we ever forgive. Only through forgiving ourselves can we hurt again. Only through forgiving ourselves can we save our soul. Which one will you choose. I'm still on the fence.

I am surrounded by the ******
We seem to gravitate towards coffee shops, even those who don't like hot beverages find themselves there. I suppose it's a good place to let go your baggage. Lose yourself for five minutes. Loosen up and unwind. That's hard to do even on a good day. The world always has an agenda that needs seeing to. Rather selfish of the Earth to be honest, and quite damaging to your self worth. You can't be at it's beck and call 24/7. But we try to, dear God do we try. Of course this leads to us burning up rather spectacularly. Giving, worrying, stressing, doing. Until we are left smoking, steam rising like a freshly made coffee. But nothing is fresh here. Burnt coffee. Unusable. No longer capable of the great feats we once were. Like the world had chewed us up and spit us out when we're no longer useful. What a ******** But what can you do to stop a ******** Not much as they are inheritly selfish - deep down in their very core, nothing but molten arrogance, festering beneath their skin this sense of entitlement. That is what it is. You can't change the world from what it is. Just as much as you can not change who you are. So take five minutes and go to a coffee shop. Lose yourself in a hot beverage. Watch the steam rise and be thankful it isn't yours.
